The Market Hustle
My name’s Josh. I started investing over a decade ago after financial advisors turned me away because I didn’t have hundreds of thousands to invest. Instead of giving up, I took things into my own hands by reading every book I could find, graduating from the W.P. Carey School of Business, and spending the last 10+ years learning, investing, and refining my approach. I know how confusing the stock market can feel when you're just getting started. Between overcomplicated investing lingo, conflicting reddit advice, and the fear of losing money, it’s easy to stay stuck on the sidelines. That’s why I created The Market Hustle. It’s the resource I wish I had when I started. A no-BS beginner-friendly platform that simplifies investing. The mission with The Market Hustle is to help you take control of your financial future and gives you the confidence to build long-term wealth without overcomplicating the process. If you’re ready to break free from financial stress, start investing with clarity, and build a future where money is no longer a worry, you’re in the right place. Each episode, my co-hosts Baafi (@blacktycoontalk) and Pierce (@pierceywiercy) and I break down: Investing strategies anyone can use How to think like an investor, not just a consumer Real-world market insights without the Wall Street buzzwords Actionable steps to put your money to work Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the stock market or ready to level up your investing game, you've found your community. Join us as we all build wealth together, one episode at a time. Follow us: @themarkethustle (Josh) @blacktycoontalk (Baafi) @pierceywiercy (Pierce)

He was making good money in his IT career but it felt like it disappeared as fast as it came in.
Then he found Money Mastery.
In this interview, Aakash shares:
- How he went from scattered finances and constant stress to building a personalized money system.
- Why...

For most of his life, he thought his pension would be enough to carry him through retirement. But when he looked closer, he realized it wouldn’t buy him the kind of life he wanted.

In this episode, Phillip shares how he went from feeling lost an...

Most people chase distractions... I stacked assets.
I skipped the short-term wins and built a system instead.
It wasn’t flashy but it bought me something far better than short-term dopamine hits: options to live life however the hell I want.
Right after college, I landed what most people would call a “secure” job.
Good pay, solid benefits… but within a month, I knew I couldn’t stay.
I had to make a decision most people avoid for decades.
In this episode, I walk you through the moment I realized that playing it safe was actually the most dangerous move I could make and how that decision sparked everything that became The Market Hustle.
Whether you’re stuck in indecision o...
